Case Law & Legal Opinions Back to Top
Colorado Case Inspires National Support
The Internet is proving an effective tool for supporting the rights of homeschoolers. Its potential was recently discovered when a homeschooling mother suddenly found those rights challenged in domestic relations court. When it became known via the internet that the magistrate overseeing the court case had officially questioned the adequacy of not only 'homeschool socialization', but also the mother's ability to effectively continue to teach her daughter, the case gained immediate national attention.
Pierce v. Society of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary
In Pierce v. Society of the Sisters, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that "the fundamental theory of liberty upon which all governments of this Union repose excludes any general power of the state to standardize its children by forcing them to accept instruction from public teachers only. The child is not the creature of the state."
